(Un)City – (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known
© Wallonie-Bruxelles Architectures This publication of WBA's exhibition curated by Cédric Libert is presented during the Biennial of Design at Istanbul Modern from 13th of October to 12th of December 2012.(Un)City – (Un)Real State of the (Un)Known lays down the city as a subject of thought and talk. Addressing through its constituting multiple realities, the city is perceived as heritage as well as project-in-becoming, envisaged by superposition, interweaving and sedimentation of singular layers.A large model (4m x 4m) gathers 100 Projects for Brussels. As a proposal between fact and fiction, it assembles a collection of emblematic buildings and urban situations found in the city of Brussels. Shaped as an imaginary territory, it brings together past, present and prospective projects: the Brussel's Palace of Justice, the Cinquantenaire Monument, Victor Horta's Maison du Peuple, le Pavillon du Bonheur designed by architects V+, The National Theatre, an utopian project of Luc Deleu and Glaverbel headquarter in La Hulpe, among others.Reconfiguring differently all these projects on the model and in the book implies a double fold new approach of the so-called urban reality: on the one hand, it is about carefully recognizing the void between the architectural objects – a space between volumes – while on the other hand exploring the idea that each one of us as individual establishes its own experience of the city – a personal and unique cartography, if not an intimate mythology.Discover an abstract in Posts.Contact publisher: Architecture unit of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, +32 (0)2 413 26 05, email.
